My kids are sick very rarely. They got sick once or twice/year in early elementary, but none of them have missed a day of school in several years. They are 9, 10, and 13. My 2 year old has only been sick twice in his life, and my 6 month old hasn't been sick yet.

That's normal my Dr. says the once a month cold at this time of year is normal for toddlers, young kids.....My kids are not in preschool but I took them to a preschool program where I stay with them so they can play etc. & only going twice my kids got really sick, and then it went away after a few weeks, then it came back, went away & then cam back again so sick 3 times in 3 months they are okay now, cross my fingers but it was a very stressful, worrisome 3 months. They are now 4 & 20 months old & having them both sick at the same time is hard in every way especially when it comes out of the blue. I need tougher skin when my babies are sick. I know they need to build their immune to prepare for Elementary school, its still such a drag but life!
